PTU Sweet As Honey

Sweet As Honey was written by me on the 17th April 2013. It is my own idea and creation. Any similarity to any other tag or tutorial is co incidental.

Supplies Needed
Tube of choice. I have used the Fabulous artwork of Danny Lee, available from SATC  HERE
I used a Matching Scrap kit PTU BeeBee by Bibi's collection also from SATC  HERE
Template 33 Honey by me. You can get it  HERE

Filters Used ( Optional )
Xero Radiance
EyeCandy Shadowlab
PhotoEffex Scanlines


Open template, duplicate and close original. Delete credits and background.
In layer palette - Striped Circle. Selections - float and C/Paste paper of choice from kit. I used Paper 1. De float - invert and hit delete. Select none. D/shadow. Delete original layer.

Layer Palette- Black rectangle- Repeat same fill process as for previous layer. I used paper 9 re sized at 70%.

Layer Palette- Yellow Rectangle- Repeat process. I used paper 8 re sized at 70%.

Layer Palette- Grey circle- Repeat Process. I used paper  re sized at 70%. Change blend mode to overlay and merge down with original temp layer. D/Shadow.

Layer Palette- Oval- Repeat process. I used paper 4 re sized at 70%. Change blend mode to Hard light and again merge this layer down with original layer and D/Shadow.

C/Paste Element 6 -Yellow radial. Resize to 80% and move to the bottom of  your layer palette. Use Raster deform tool to position and stretch left and right so it just exceeds the width of the template layers. Apply PhotoEffex Scanlines. Settings I used below.


C/Paste your tube and position in the centre of your tag. Apply Xero- radiance to suit. and drop shadow.
Work desired elements around your tube and drop shadow to your liking. I used...

50 Honeycomb- Re sized to 90 %. Position bottom right of image above tube. Behind word art. Duplicate and re size copy to 80%. Keep the copy above original and move it over to the left a little.
